How Many Spam in your Gmail?Keith Chan | Monday, November 12, 2007 16 years ago • 4,161 views |
Just curious, how many spam messages does your main Gmail account has at this moment?
I have ... 487! |

430 – happens to be a very slow month – I can get up to about 2000 (although it's decreasing a lot lately) |

0. I'm fanatical about clearing it out. (I probably wouldn't bother if I greasemonkily hid the spam counter.) |

I currently have 1... err make that 0 I clear mine out all the time as well :D
I don't like being told I have spam either |

According to the recent post in the Gmail Blog, you should be getting a lot less than you used to: http://gmailblog.blogspot.com/2007/10/how-our-spam-filter-works.html |

Niraj, That's spam in the inbox, of which I rarely get any. I currently get around 100 spam emails a week (up from about 1 a week in September) all of which are caught.
Annoyingly, Google has caught quite a few of its press releases and marked them as spam as well. |

11,795 at the moment. Don't laugh :) |

25. I empty the spam folder everytime I see it. |

0 – I have a filter that deletes all the messages marked as spam. |

481 as of now I never look at it for false positive. Its the bad luck of the sender if his/her mail has not reached my inbox :) |

Ionut, you trust the Gmail filter that much?! |

That is brave – it would be too much for me. While I don't ever check the spam folder out of the blue, I do sometimes check it when I suspect something (like a confirmation mail) accidentally made it into it. And sometimes that does happen. |

<< Ionut, you trust the Gmail filter that much?! >>
I check the Trash folder from time to time, but I rarely find something that shouldn't be there. |
Philipp Lenssen | 16 years ago # |
Ah, that's true, you can still check the trash in those cases. Sounds like a good filter. How do you set up that filter Ionut? |
Ionut Alex. Chitu | 16 years ago # |
Has the words: is:spam Do this: Delete it |
Mrrix32 | 16 years ago # |
Ionut Thanks for that I wasn't sure where to put the "in:spam" bit :D |
Philipp Lenssen | 16 years ago # |
This is strange. That's how I tried to set it up before, but then Gmail showed up a warning dialog saying "Warning: Filter searches containing 'label:', 'in:' or 'is:' criteria are not recommended, as these critera will never match incoming mail."
Maybe it's time to ignore Google's alerts :) |
